I know how hard it can be when your fitness journey doesn’t seem to line up with your plans or timelines. We all want to see quick results, but here’s the truth: God’s timing is always better than ours. 

In today’s podcast episode, I’m diving into what it means to truly surrender your fitness goals to God, trust His process, and embrace the waiting season.  He’s working even when you can’t see it!

You know, so often in our fitness journey, we want things to happen right now. Whether it's weight loss, muscle gain, or just feeling more confident in our bodies—we set these timelines for ourselves. We say things like, 'I’ll be at my goal weight by this date,' or 'I’m going to work out every day this month,' but what happens when those timelines don’t line up with reality? Maybe you don’t see the results you wanted as quickly as you hoped, or life gets busy, and you fall off track.

I’ve been...

Do you want to know why you self-sabotage your goals? On the new Strong. Confident. His. Podcast, you will learn the shocking reasons behind it, how to stop it, and a helpful tool I teach called the 3 Ts.

Friend, you want to know these.

The most surprising part about self-sabotage is why we do it The answer to this is shocking! When I learned what I’m going to teach you today, it was a game-changer. You may not even realize this but once you spot it you’re going to be like, “Wow!”

Our Foundational Scripture

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15–16 ESV)

What is Self-sabotage?

The reason why you self-sabotage is that it allows you to predict what is going to happen, which gives you the illusion of self-control.

Want to Transform your diet struggles into peaceful victories?

Today I will teach you how to embrace grace and freedom in Christ as you break free from diet culture's grip!

I know God is calling me to write this blog for you because every day I get emails, DMs, or comments on my posts with phrases like. 

- I struggle with self-control, no matter how hard I try I always mess up.

- I was doing so good and then I gained 40 pounds back so I’m on whatever diet plan again but it’s not working why?

- I’m promising to eat cleaner and try harder to work out and I’m praying God will help me.

- I’ve tried every diet and I‘m heavier than ever I’m at the end of my rope I just can’t do this anymore. I’m so sad about how I look.

- And why do I keep sabotaging myself?

Every time I read these comments they hurt my heart! Ladies, we are so deceived by diet culture.

2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, "For God has not given us a spirit...

What Does The Bible Say About Fitness?

This is one of the most important blogs and episodes I’ve ever done because many Christians don't know what the Bible says about fitness.

I find it interesting that fitness is so separate from the Christian life, don't you? And I don’t think it’s an accident. 

Have ever wondered…

• What does the Bible say about fitness? 
• How do I make fitness Christian?
• What if I’m a Christian and I don’t believe it’s biblical to take care of myself?

Today’s message is for you! I will give you scriptures and help you get answers that give you clarity, which creates peace and results in your life. I made a Freebie for you too! You can get it here, Get 25 Faith-Filled Quotes to Motivate Your Fitness!

Let’s dive in!

Does God Want You To Be Fit?

Okay let’s be honest, have you ever wondered deep down in your heart if God wants you to be fit, if is it okay to be fit, and what the Bible...

Feeling like you're never going to reach your goals, feeling the weight of unanswered prayers, or questioning your calling? This is for you! As a sister in faith, I want to inspire and motivate you to recognize that your dreams are not impossible with God. Please listen above or scroll down to watch the Live Taping.

I was praying about how to end the 2023 Strong. Confident His. Podcast Season. It took a moment of pause and reflection to see God’s undeniable hand over every minute of 2023.

What unfolded were remarkable moments of God's grace, guiding every minute of the past 12 months. As I share my experiences, you'll witness how walking in faith, even in the face of doubts, led to incredible outcomes.

I'm not one to boast, but I feel compelled to acknowledge the divine support that carried me through 2023. Battling feelings of who me, being too old, or the thinking that it's too late, I chose to turn away from the devil's lies and follow the path laid out by Jesus....

Birthdays have a way of making us reflect, don't they? I recently celebrated my 55th birthday, but you know what they say, age is just a number. I feel more alive than ever, and whether you're 15 or 90 or somewhere in between, these life lessons I've gathered over the years are like a compass pointing straight to Jesus.

I'm going to be sharing three foundational scriptures, here is our first.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV

5 Lessons I Wish My Younger Self Knew

1: If God isn't in it, you don't want it! 

You know, it's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, chasing after things that glitter but may not be gold. If God's not at the center, it's like building a house on sand. Sweet friend, trust His plan. If...

Day 15

Pray for God to make your fitness goals more about serving Him and less about what you look like.

Rather than make fitness all about what you look like, make it about how you live and who you live for. God has placed gifts in you and called you to tell people about Him. When you think of fitness motivation begin to consider getting fit to serve, for example, to go on...

I have something special to share with you today that is going to really help you and I can’t wait to tell you about it! 

Tomorrow is November 1st. Don’t you love fall? I’m ready to put my Christmas decorations up, and I have to admit I’ve already been burning my fall candles. What are your favorite candles?

I love Leaves by Bath and Body Works, Fresh Balsam, and Harvest Gathering! They make my house smell like heaven. And I’m embarrassed to admit, I actually put on my Christmas playlist the other day. 

As much as I love fall, I mean it is my favorite time of year, I don’t want us to fall out of our fitness habits. 

So I’m excited to share that I created a free 21-Day Fitness Bible Study Challenge.

Sister, this is going to help you so much. You can do it in just moments a day and it will help you stay on track with your fitness goals, enjoy the holidays in healthy ways, and skip starting the new year in a panic over...

I have a story to share with you today that gave me the best example of what is going on in our bodies when we are working out and eating healthy. I mean, how many times have you quit just becasue you’re not seeing results right?

I love it when God makes something so clear, well that is exactly what He did with this story I’m going to share. Recently, I was getting my nails done and the salon had Fixer Upper on, it’s a home renovation show. I love home renovation shows. 

As I watched this sweet older married couple apprehensively allow their old home to be torn down to the studs, and I mean even the foundation was cracked and needed to be redone, God spoke to my heart and showed me something you need to hear... a fitness transformation is just like a home renovation.

See the parallel:

• Imagine your body as a home being renovated. 
• What year was it built?
• What storms has it been through?
• How has it been cared for?
• How much work does it need to...

If you’ve been praying for a husband and you feel like you’re getting older and losing hope, this is going to remind you that you still deserve the fairy tale. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing television personality and author Wendy Griffith and her story is filling women with hope!

I met Wendy when she interviewed me on The 700 Club and we’ve been friends ever since.

Wendy has a story of inspiration for women who are looking for a Godly husband. She was living her dream as an international reporter and news anchor for the Christian Broadcasting Network but the one thing she really wanted was to fall in love and get married, but it seemed life was passing her by.

Wendy shares about her new book, You Didn’t Miss It! God’s Best Is Worth the Wait! She is a trusted friend who has been there and wants to guide you through:

- How she found a godly man

- How to enjoy life...
